Waterford’s Single Farm Origin whiskies are more than spirits, they’re stories of place, soil, and season. This set unites two distinct Irish farms: Lakefield, with its inland grassy elegance, and Hook Head, shaped by briny Atlantic winds. It’s like tasting two sides of Ireland in one box, a meeting of soft rolling fields and rugged coastal spray.

Production Details:
Waterford’s Single Farm Origin series focuses on terroir, producing each expression from barley grown on a single farm, distilled separately, and matured to highlight its unique character. Lakefield reflects fertile inland soils, while Hook Head’s barley grows within sight of a historic lighthouse, battered by ocean winds.

Waterford is praised by critics for pioneering whisky terroir, earning acclaim for transparency, traceability, and innovation in the Irish whisky scene.

Distillery Background:
Founded by Mark Reynier, Waterford Distillery is built on the belief that whisky should be as terroir-driven as fine wine. Located in Ireland’s sunny southeast, it transforms locally grown barley into expressions that speak clearly of their origin, season, and soil.
